Covering the uninsured is a moral victory, but if it ends up being done through private insurance it will NOT save us money but only serve to feed the insurance industry beast and let it grow even larger, at the expense of future generations.

In that time, memories will have long since faded as millions remain uninsured, private insurers continue to rake in their grotesque profits, and the promised cost savings from reform never materialize.

Everyone knew from the start that the reform would not be fully universal, with the Congressional Budget Office predicting 23 million people to remain uninsured, nor equitable, with access to care dependent on the payment of premiums, co-pays, and deductibles, nor accountable, with for-profit insurers setting prices and limiting access to doctors and services.
